Hamilton, and the Chancellor of the Diocese of Bath and Wells, Rev. W. Towry Law. [4]

The church's centenary was celebrated in February 1944 with a visit by the Bishop of Salisbury, Rev. Neville Lovett. Addresses were given by the Bishop and Rev. J. W. C. Wand, while a talk on the church's history was given by Rev. P. S. Thomas. [5]
